Guest notes · 1 review

Nice spot on Glen arbor lake! Playroom was nice for the kids and shallow water of the beautiful lake. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our group (4 adults, 3 kids) to stay comfortable and great proximity to sleeping bear sand dunes. It was great for our up north cabin experience!
